Illinois Veterans
Healthcare is a fundamental right. And when someone puts their life on the line to defend their country, it is shocking that they could even go one day without health insurance. And yet the federal government has let more than one million veterans go without health insurance, including approximately 70,000 in Illinois.
Every veteran should have access to affordable, quality health insurance, and that’s why Veterans Care, a new program from the State of Illinois that offers access to affordable, comprehensive healthcare to veterans across Illinois, was created. Under this program, veterans will pay an affordable monthly premium of $40 or $70 and receive medical, limited dental and vision coverage. Veterans who enroll will not be required to pay a monthly premium for the first two months of coverage, until January 2008. Illinois is the first state in the nation to create a program like this.
For the first year of the program, Veterans Care will serve those veterans who have limited incomes. For additional information on Veterans Care, call us at 1-877-4VETSRX. Our Veterans Service Officers stand ready to assist you and answer any questions you may have.
